Let's take a look at each sentence to determine the correct words to fill in the blanks.
My _____ is old.
We need to choose a word to fit in this sentence. Let's look at the options:
A. play
B. father
C. run
D. red
The most appropriate choice here is B. father . The sentence 'My father is old.' makes sense because a father can be described with an age-related adjective like 'old.'
My brother is very _______. He runs every day and goes to the gym.
Now, we have the following options:
A. strong
B. lazy
C. tired
The sentence talks about someone who runs every day and goes to the gym. This suggests a level of fitness and energy that is typically associated with being strong. Therefore, the most fitting choice is A. strong . 'My brother is very strong.' matches the description in the sentence.
In summary, the correct words are 'father' for the first sentence and 'strong' for the second sentence. This type of exercise helps to improve vocabulary and understanding of context clues in English.
